AMD Navi Discussion

Embargo lifts tomorrow. Some leaked benchmarks look good. AMD heavily rumoured to discount the GPUs at launch, putting them at direct competition with the 2060S and 2070S, at which it seems to peg or better them.

Competition is great for consumers.

Honest answer, best bet is to wait for a month or two for the demand to die down. I expect regardless of the stock levels, the demand for these new tier of cards is insane.

Have been waiting since launch for a 3080 and no joy, so might aswell jump on the AMD bandwagaon and try to get a 6800XT that will do me until Feb/Mar when I can buy what ever I want hopefully which will be a 3080ti AIB or a 69000XT AIB

Where/how will the cards be available at launch? Is it just a case of pressing F5 on amazon/scan etc until you see them?

Do we know any pricing for vendor cards

edit: found a 6800XT on sale at Newegg for $135. Might need your own waterblock though, yikes!

What a beast

GHOST MGG

AIB cards have a suggested launch on the 25th of this month
Newegg and microcentre in the US have said both reference models go on sale tomorrow from 9est which is 2pm gmt

sapphire 6800 according to a leak on videocardz will cost 703 euros but i think it will be cheaper personally
the sapphire nitro 6800xt will retail at 839 euros
and the sapphire nitro argb with usb c 6800xt will retail at 874 euros

Tomorrow for the 6800 and 6800xt I believe.

Im not keen on any founders edition/ whatever the AMD equivalent is so looks like I’ll be waiting.

Wonda-Boy

I was expecting at least a few vendors have them listed at least but cant seem to find anything.....considering the launch is tomorrow I would have expected the sites to be ready to go.

Will it be like midnight tonight they will go on sale or is it 9am tomorrow morning job, was away for the 3080 launch how did that launch?

LineConsole

Never mind, Eoin I assume that’s what you meant by AIB so have already answered my question. Sorry not up on the terminology

LineConsole

I’m gonna try snag a non founders edition 6800xt. Do the other manufacturers versions of the cards usually come out on launch day too?

Revoker88

Don't think I'll have a choice if I want to see reviews,cards will be gone quick so I guess that leaves me looking at the launch of AiBs on the 25th to pick a card up

GHOST MGG

They will be like gold dust...expect a 3080 scenario all over again

BloodBath

Will wait for benchmarks I guess but the 6800xt has 12 more CU's at 72 than the 6800 at 60. Also higher clocks.

That's 20% more CU's and RT cores for only 13% higher cost. The 6800xt should be the best price/performance graphics card on the market.

It's only 8 more CU's going from the 6800xt to the the 6900xt.

Wonda-Boy

Gonna try my hardest to get a 6800XT to tide me over for either a 6900XT or the 3080TI....im stuck here with a 1060 and its driving me mad!!!!!

Its a great card all the same....

LineConsole

I wonder if there will be much point in buying the 6800 if there is only a 70 USD difference between that and the xt model. I can see me shaving some savings off another part of the new build to strech for the xt version. That should see me for at least 6 years of gaming. Unless European price differences are wildly different to the US, which going by how things have been lately will probably be the case.

Overheal

Does anyone have any details on the AiB cards?

What's your preference: buy early tomorrow, wait for the reviews, or wait for the AiB cards one way or the other? They're only going to be more expensive though aren't they

Didnt Nvidia basically do it though, like they released the reviews a day before hand and some of their claims ie faster than a 2080ti and 2x faster than a 2080ti were well a little over the top, so i wouldnt put it past AMD to do it too.

I do have to agree reviews being released on launch day sucks (regardless if its parts games movies though its usually a bad sign in the second 2) and is IMO a bit anti consumer, not giving people a chance to see real world vs cherry picked results.
Allowing them to do some proper research before the attempt to press F5 for a day. Then again people dont have to buy day one but sure we are all a little impatient here

I will be interested in seeing how the cards perform on a non zen 3 5000 series x570/b55o board combo I have no shares in AMDs launch since getting a 3070, im happy out im just interested.

Reviewers have had the cards for a week or two now, the 6800's at least. Ans NDA release on product launch seems to have become the standard practise.

Supply issues and Covid certainly haven't helped, but instant sellouts are also a way of keeping the hype up. "Sold out in minutes" = "oooh they must be amazing, everyone is desperate to get one." It used to be only kids toys at christmas that tactic was used, but it's absolutely standard on smartphone launches. In fact, if you don't "sell out at launch" then your stock goes down - stockbrokers and algos not caring that you're "sold out" because you're deliberately gimping inventory.

Revoker88

Its hard to know,the year thats in it has created some strange market conditions.

I think the oversubscription also has a lot to do with it being 2020.

Its hard to believe two companies the size of Nvidia and AMD would purposely hamstring themselves,at the end of the day the more they sell,the more money they make.

I'm sure they would love to capitalise more on demand but it just hasn't happened.

Which then leads to frustrated customers being in a fever pitch trying to get there hands on a new gpu.

I see similar happening wit the new consoles,lookin at buying a laptop for college,same there,loads of them sold out.

2020 is just ****

Slutmonkey57b

Yeah - the news cycle on both sets of cards has been pretty irritating, but all hardware launches are getting like that now - after years of trying to stop leaks, companies have come to accommodate the expectation and feed the leakers - has been particularly true of smartphones for a long time now, and we're in an endless "hype cycle" that lasts months to stoke demand.

On the other hand, as we can see from all the day1 oversubscription launches in the last few months, we're our own worst enemy on this stuff.

MidlanderMan

For their unboxing Hardware Canucks decided to make a secksie build.
I like.
